Kollinwood Konnections

My 2012 March UFO with Patchwork Times is done. Kollinwood Konnections (Judy Laquidara's Road to Brownwood) finished on Wednesday night. I'm very excited about the way it turned out. I'll be rummaging through my larger pieces to see if anything will work. Wonder what thread color and stitch pattern will catch my fancy when I have it quilted. Any suggestions?

Tomorrow between 10am and noon I'll be learning a bit more about the stitches and settings of my new Phaff Expression 4.0 sewing machine. There is a workshop at Paradise Sewing that I'll be splitting my work day in half with this one. Sure would be nice to take the afternoon off since it is a Friday, but I'm a little lean in vacation time. Mom's coming to visit for a couple of weeks in June so I'm saving up!

Can't beat Judy L's patterns and this was one of my favorites that she made. Always puts an interesting border on her quilts. Don't you just love this challenge? All about getting things done. Unsure about what exactly the colors are - I like them however. Judy C

Born and raised on the East Coast and settled in 1985 in the paradise called San Diego, California. I've a passion for scrappy, traditional pieced or paper pieced quilting. I enjoy the challenge of using my stash. I have strong thoughts of applique and hand quilting when I don't have to keep my day job. Quilting and sewing have been passed down in my family for at least four generations. I'm lucky to share this passion with my Mom.
